Chinchilla Bears tear Hawks down

FOOTBALL: The Chinchilla Bears were triumphant over the South Toowoomba Hawks over the weekend, with a 5-1 win.

The Bears had the game under control pretty much from the start of play and any chances the Hawks had were shut down by the Bears' strong back line.

The Bears were the first to get on the board through the brilliance of Matt Clarke catching the Hawks' 'keeper off his line, and it wasn't long before Chinchilla found themselves up with a second goal mid-way through the first half thanks to Mark Johnson.

Late in the first half, the Hawks managed to squeeze one back and the teams went into the half-time break at 2-1.

With the Bears leading at half-time, the second half was hard fought.

But, in what seemed like no time at all, the Bears picked off another goal again off the boot of Ross Cardillo, followed shortly by Mark Johnson again putting the Bears up 4-1 and dominating the game.

Late in the second half, striker Matt Clarke got on the board again for the second time in the game to put the game beyond doubt 5-1.

With only two games left this season, the Bears are looking to finish strong before the finals start in early September.

The Bears will travel again this weekend to play against Willowburn City in Toowoomba.
